O'Sullivan Looking Forward to Driving Standards

26 April 2017

Dublin footballer Cian O'Sullivan is already looking forward to a competitive Championship campaign after a challenging league season that saw the Boys in Blue finally lose their record breaking run of 36 matches unbeaten.

O'Sullivan feels the league has developed to new heights of intensity since the start his career, which he deemed 'fantastic preparation' for the Championship ahead.

A seasoned defender in the Dub's set-up, O'Sullivan says at this point his side no longer focus on indiviual or team plaudits, the main motivator is collective improvement and quality.

"Over the last number of years, what drives us has kind of shifted. We want to be the best performing team that we can possibly be and we have our standards and we want to try and reach and live by those standards.

"That's what drives us, it's not trying to win x-number of leagues or x-number of Leinsters or x-number of Sam Maguires, I think that's a great source of motivation."
